AMBRIDGE, Pa. — (WPXI) Schools across Beaver County were placed on lockdown Thursday after one person misheard a student’s voicemail.

Police said a worker calling to confirm a doctor’s appointment with an Ambridge High School student heard the theme song to the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” when she attempted to call. The worker said she called police when she misheard the lyrics — which she claimed said “shooting people outside of school.”

The actual lyrics to the song say “shooting some b-ball outside of school.”
